I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

Fall Craft Idea – Painted Scrap Wood Pumpkin

Last year when I neck deep in the house remodel, I did a segment on King 5 of a couple of quick Halloween/Fall decor crafts. Since I had a bunch of scrap wood lying around, I decided to gather some of it up and make some DIY wood pumpkins. This is a great craft to get the kids involved with, because they can do the painting {you really can’t screw it up} and then you can add the nails and ribbon.

Paint the wood blocks front and back with the orange paint. Using the sandpaper, lightly scuff up the edges of the wood. Gently pound two nails into the top of the block of wood. Tie the green ribbon around the nails.
